Your backups are gone too? The plugin doesn’t actually hold the data, and we do not push updates to the plugin on your site. You’re still running an older version of Event Espresso 4 correct?

Are you also saying that I have to pay for the upgrade for the plugin to auto-update?

No, I did not write that. What I wrote was your current license allows for 1-click updates for the Event Espresso 4 core plugin only. Your current license doesn’t allow for 1-click updates of the add-ons.
